Mahesh – A scoop for the mediaSlow and steady wins the race. The adage aptly suits the young superstar Mahesh Babu. Making his debut with Raja Kumarudu in 1999, he did 14 films in a span of 8 years. The stupendous success of Okkadu placed him above the parameters of hits and flops. The industry hit Pokiri brought him national recognition and its first Telugu film ever to generate big appreciation from the Big B, Ramgopal Varma, Abhishekh Bachchan, Rajniknth and Chiranjeevi. He always tries his best to avoid interaction with the media and at the same time dislikes massive publicity like 100 days functions. His fans all over the state have launched social service activities this week to culminate into the actor’s entry into 35th year, today (Aug 9). Idlebrain.com wishes Mahesh – Many Happy Returns of the Day.
Revolutionized Tollywood BusinessMahesh entered the film industry as a child artiste and did give impressive performance in many of the films of his father Krishna Ghattamaneni. When he turned into a commercial hero in the years that followed, it invariably brought him the admiration from all quarters of the audiences. Three years ago, the Prince created sensation when he married Namrata Shirodkar, former Miss India, Top Six at Miss Universe and 1st Runner up of Miss Asia Pacific. By sheer hard work and affirmed dedication to his profession, he gave a new meaning to the stamina of Telugu cinema at the box office, domestic and overseas. In recognition of his immaculate performance, he is credited with six Nandi Awards and two Filmfare Awards as the Best Actor. Definitely, this is a rare record of its sort. Mahesh happens to the first and so far the only Telugu actor to bag the opportunity to act in the production of global major Warner Brothers. Many corporate groups lurk for the chance to rope in the young star into their projects.
Unpredictability, His Success MantraHis success mantra is the belief in hard work. From the start of his career, almost all of his films were of high budget. Mahesh makes his moves unpredictable and keeps everybody guessing wildly. Interestingly, the huge fandom prompted the young star to come out with a clear-cut assurance about his projects to the fans and his sea of admirers. In the coming two years, the Prince is going ride the horse for a big game hunt with three projects in series – Trivikram’s Varudu, Pokiri-II (a Puri Jagan’s film) and Gowtham Menon’s project. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is Mahesh Babu and his sway at the Box office that have magnetically pulled the corporate giants into Tollywood’s business. Success of Pokiri kept Bollywood on fire that Salman Khan is into the project there.
What Politics holds for Mahesh?For the first time, Mahesh Babu’s name surfaced so strongly in the political zone in the recent months. On a couple of occasions, the actor denied his interest in politics, saying: “I know nothing about politics.” When you mention about Mahesh, his dad, call him Superstar or Andhra James Bond – comes into the picture. In the wake of “some of the recent developments” over Padmalaya Studios, the media widely observed that the deal was in tune with Ghattamaneni’s “agreement” with the YSR Government – political campaigning for the Congress. Congress is not a new thing for Krishna. But, will Mahesh Babu take up the campaign? This alone is one of the most curious queries emanating from the Ghattamaneni family. Whether it takes place or not it is altogether a different matter. But, the State Information Minister Mr. Anam Ramnarayan Reddy recently desired that Mahesh Babu should come into politics. All this shows the phenomenal rise of the Prince from the impenetrable stardom to that of a potential campaigner for a National party, clearly from the public eye.
